Phase IB Cultural Resource Monitoring of the Landscape Project - Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, Brooklyn (Kings County), NY. Contract # B376-102M-A1
Report Abstract
Archaeological monitoring on the grounds of the Wyckoff House in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn. The Wyckoff House was constructed circa 1654 and is believed to be the oldest standing structure in New York City. Archaeological monitoring occurred in three areas of the property, but no intact or significant archaeological remains were found. Based on this, and on several prior episodes of archaeological study and testing, the archaeologists believe that the majority of the site has been extensively disturbed by prior land grading and utility construction, so no further testing should be done. The only exception is in the northeastern most portion of the property, where intact remains may exist more than 2-3 meters below ground surface.

Report Abstract
Project in a block bounded by Metropolitan Ave, Havemeyer Street, Hope Street, and Roebling Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Stage 1A Archaeological Assessment, Beth Rivka School, Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York (site adjacent to Flatbush African Burial Ground)
Report Abstract
Project at the southwest intersection of Bedford Ave and Church Ave in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. There may have once been a major Indigenous trail on the project site, and later may have hosted colonial farmhouses, a African American and/or enslaved cemetery, Revolutionary War Hessian campsites, the backyards (and potentially associated privy or cisterns) of several different 19th century houses and public schools, and an early 20th century school yard with a water closet. While it is unlikely, but possible that prehistoric features are preserved, the historic features all have moderate to high potential of preservation. Extensive archaeological testing is recommended, in addition to more in depth documentary research on particular parts of the site’s history.

Stabe 1B Archaeologial Investigaion, P.S. 325-K Church and Bedford Avenues, Brooklyn, NY
Report Abstract
Archaeological testing of a project at the southwest intersection of Bedford Ave and Church Ave in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. An intact 19th century brick privy, dating to the site’s use as a Public School, was fully excavated, and contained a wealth of artifacts. Documentary sources suggested the possibility of burials from a historic African American burial ground, but testing found only a few human teeth and no burial shafts or coffin remains, neither confirming nor excluding the possibility of burials on the untested portion of the site. The archaeologists recommend that the site remain undisturbed, if possible, and if not, that further testing be conducted and an Unanticipated Discovery Plan be put in place. In addition, they recommend further study and curation of the artifacts from the privy.

Stage 1A Cultural Resources Assessment Belt Parkway Bridges Project, Brooklyn, NY. 97DOT006K
Report Abstract
Rehabilitation project of nine bridges on the Belt Parkway, located at Ocean Parkway, Coney Island Ave, Nostrand Ave, Gerritsen Inlet, Flatbush Ave, Mill Basin, Paerdegat Basin, Rockaway Parkway, Fresh Creek Basin, and possibly a tenth, the East 8th Street Access Ramp. In many of these locations, construction plans include excavation into potential prehistoric layers, so soil borings are recommended to test for intact prehistoric surfaces. In addition, the Mill Basin bridge might be eligible and should potentially be nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, because most of the historical materials are present and it contains the distinctive characteristics of the “Chicago” type bascule bridge.

Report Abstract
Project to create the Brooklyn Bridge Park within a circa 70 acre area along the East River between Atlantic Ave and Jay Street in Brooklyn. This area was partially created by landfill and has hosted early Brooklyn to Manhattan ferry terminals and other waterfront infrastructure, as well as later residential, commercial, and industrial structures. In many areas, resources may be intact, particularly landfill and landfill retaining structures, piers, bulkheads, building foundations, and so in some areas, archaeological testing or monitoring is recommended.

Report Abstract
Utilities project along Bay 16th Street from Shore Parkway to Bath Avenue and then northwest under Bath Avenue to 17th Avenue in Brooklyn. Along Bay 16th Street, several 19th century structures including a hotel and homelots likely had privies and cisterns, and an associated well was mentioned in documentary sources. These may be intact below landfill, as the construction plans include deep excavation, so archaeological testing is recommended.

Report Abstract
Utilities project along Bay 16th Street from Shore Parkway to Bath Avenue and then northwest under Bath Avenue to 17th Avenue in Brooklyn. Following the findings of report 913, this report was prepared to provide more in depth research on and analysis of the possible 19th century archaeological remains in the project area and to determine their significance. During the 19th century, this site hosted numerous homelots, a public school, a church with an associated cemetery, and a hotel. Some of the homelots, the churchyard, the school, and the hotel have the potential to address valuable research questions, and so testing of these sites in recommended.
